Reserved HTML characters "<" and ">" used in FAQs

See original GitHub issue

Where to find the issue

FAQs

Describe the issue

There is a lot of incorrect literal usage of the characters < and > in the FAQs. These are characters reserved to delimit HTML tags.

These are used in:

  1. Mathematical comparisons, such as >= 63dB
  2. In a sequence of instructions, such as 'Settings' -> 'Reset App' and 'Security & Location' > 'Location' > 'App level permissions'

Suggestion

Replace literal usage of the reserved characters < and > in the FAQs by their escaped equivalents as follows

Character Escaped
character
< &lt;
> &gt;

@larswmh

Should we prepare a PR for this or are you interested in working on this?
